    Around here we call them “long boxes”. Like a TBH but the benefit of using standard frames. GREAT when getting a nuc or doing splits which is a major drawback to the TBH’s. I’m not a fan of plasitc either, but the idea of insulation on the sides is great. Our current boxes only provide R.93 or insulation value. WAY less than a tree so i see a higher value in that.

    Chelsea: the only issue i have w/ the above TBH is the intersection at the vertical supper and the lower roof. Being in construction i worry(wonder) about rain hitting the supers then dripping on the TBH frames & bees. I guess this guy grew up in the 60’s split level era! 😉

    cheers
